The 1925 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships were organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and served as the national championships in outdoor track and field for the United States.
The men's edition was held at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco, California, and it took place 4–5 July. The women's meet was held separately at Paddock Field in Pasadena, California, on 11 July.
At the men's championships, Henry Bonura threw the javelin 65.19 metres (213.9 ft), better than the then-American record, but the mark was not accepted as a record due to wind assistance. The main meet was held on 4 July and relays were held on 5 July. [1] [2] In the women's competition, Helen Filkey became the first woman to win multiple events at a single championships. [3]
